< Deuteronomo 10 >
1 Pa nthawi imeneyo Yehova anati kwa ine, “Sema miyala iwiri yofanana ndi yoyamba ija ndipo ubwere nayo kwa Ine ku phiri. Upangenso bokosi lamatabwa.
At that time the LORD said to me, “Cut two stone tablets like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
2 Ndidzalembapo mawu amene anali pa miyala yoyamba ija, imene unayiphwanya. Ndipo iwe ukuyenera kuyika miyalayo mʼbokosimo.”
I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.”
3 Choncho ndinapanga bokosi lamatabwa amtengo wa mkesha ndi kusema miyala iwiri yofanana ndi yoyamba ija, ndipo ndinapita ku phiri nditanyamula miyala iwiri mʼmanja mwanga.
So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two stone tablets like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tablets in my hand.
4 Yehova analemba pa miyala iwiriyo zimene analemba poyamba, Malamulo Khumi amene analengeza kwa inu pa phiri paja, mʼmoto, pa tsiku la msonkhano. Ndipo Yehova anawapereka kwa ine.
He wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me.
5 Tsono ndinatsika ku phiri kuja ndi kuyika miyalayo mʼbokosi ndinapanga lija monga Yehova anandilamulira, ndipo panopa ili mʼmenemo.
I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the LORD commanded me.
6 Aisraeli anayenda kuchokera ku Beeroti Beni Yaakani mpaka ku Mosera. Kumeneko Aaroni anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda, ndipo mwana wake Eliezara anakhala wansembe mʼmalo mwake.
(The children of Israel travelled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.
7 Kuchokera kumeneko Aisraeli anapita ku Gudigoda, napitirira mpaka ku Yotibata, ku dziko la mitsinje ya madzi.
From there they travelled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
8 Pa nthawi imeneyo Yehova anapatula fuko la Levi kuti anyamule bokosi la pangano la Yehova lija, kuti ayimirire pamaso pa Yehova, kutumikira ndi kunena madalitso pa dzina lake monga amachitira mpaka lero.
At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
9 Nʼchifukwa chake Alevi alibe gawo kapena cholowa pakati pa abale awo. Yehova ndiye cholowa chawo monga momwe Yehova Mulungu wanu anawawuzira.
Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD your God spoke to him.)
10 Tsopano ndinakhala ku phiri kuja kwa masiku makumi anayi usana ndi usiku monga ndinachitira poyamba, ndipo Yehova anandimveranso nthawi iyi. Sichinali chifuniro chake kuti akuwonongeni.
I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD listened to me that time also. The LORD would not destroy you.
11 Yehova anati kwa ine, “Pita ndi kutsogolera anthuwa pa njira yawo, kuti alowe ndi kulandira dziko limene ndinalumbira kwa makolo awo kuti ndiwapatse.”
The LORD said to me, “Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them.”
12 Tsopano inu Aisraeli, nʼchiyani chimene Yehova afuna kwa inu? Iye akufuna kuti muzimuopa poyenda mʼnjira zake zonse ndi kumamukonda Iye, kumutumikira Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi mtima wanu wonse, ndi moyo wanu wonse,
Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 ndi kusunga malamulo ndi malangizo amene ndikukupatsani lero kuti zizikuyenderani bwino.
to keep the LORD’s commandments and statutes, which I command you today for your good?
14 Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiye mwini wake kumwamba ngakhale mmwambamwamba, dziko lapansi ndi zonse zimene zili mʼmenemo.
Behold, to the LORD your God belongs heaven, the heaven of heavens, and the earth, with all that is therein.
15 Yehova anayika mtima wake pa makolo anu okha ndipo anawakondadi nasankha adzukulu awo mwa mitundu yonse pa dziko lapansi, kunena inuyo monga mulili lero.
Only the LORD had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their offspring after them, even you above all peoples, as it is today.
16 Motero chitani mdulidwe wa mitima yanu ndipo musakhalenso opulupudza.
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
17 Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi Mulungu wa milungu, Ambuye wa ambuye, Mulungu wamkulu, wamphamvu ndi woopsa, amene sakondera ndipo salandira ziphuphu.
For the LORD your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.
18 Iye amatchinjiriza ana amasiye ndi akazi amasiye, ndipo amakonda mlendo namupatsa chakudya ndi chovala.
He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing.
19 Muzikonda alendo popeza inuyo munali alendo mʼdziko la Igupto.
Therefore love the foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20 Muziopa Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi kumutumikira Iye. Mumukakamire Iyeyo ndi kuchita malumbiro anu mʼdzina lake.
You shall fear the LORD your God. You shall serve him. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
21 Iye ndiye matamando anu, Mulungu wanu amene anakuchitirani zodabwitsa zazikulu ndi zoopsa zimene munaona ndi maso anu zija.
He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.
22 Makolo anu amene anapita ku Igupto analipo makumi asanu ndi awiri onse pamodzi, ndipo tsopano Yehova Mulungu wanu wakuchulukitsani ngati nyenyezi zakumwamba.
Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
